How urgent is duct cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a layer of dust accumulating on the surfaces near our windows in the living room. The AC unit also seems to be making more noise than usual, and I’m starting to worry about the air quality for my family. How urgent is it to get the ducts cleaned?

Duct cleaning is indeed a very important task, especially considering the environmental conditions in Dubai and the UAE. The recent dust storms you mentioned are a perfect example of why it's crucial to keep your ducts clean. Accumulated dust can significantly reduce air quality, leading to discomfort for your family as well as potential health issues.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we experience varying climatic conditions that often result in sandstorms and high levels of dust. This can get trapped within your HVAC system over time, causing a buildup that affects not only your indoor air quality but also your AC's efficiency. The noise you're hearing could be due to this very reason; the accumulation might be restricting airflow or creating additional resistance.

According to the UAE Building Code and standards set by institutions like Emirates Standards Authority (ESA), maintaining good indoor environmental quality is key. While there isn't a specific mandated frequency for duct cleaning, it's generally recommended after significant dust events such as the ones you experienced recently. However, depending on your home’s location, proximity to construction sites or industrial areas, and the type of HVAC system, regular maintenance might be necessary.

Given your situation, I recommend scheduling an inspection with a professional company like Saniservice. They can assess the current state of your ducts and provide tailored advice based on their findings. If they find significant buildup, they’ll likely advise you to clean them promptly. For those who aren’t sure about the urgency or don't want to deal with it themselves, these professionals can handle the process for you.
